Eukaryotic Cell Structures
I. Eukaryotic Cell Structures
A. Cell Parts – 3 main parts:
1. Cell membrane - outside boundary.
Regulates what enters & leaves a cell.
2. Organelles - structures that perform
important cellular functions. Many
enclosed by membranes.
3. Cytoplasm – gel-like portion of the
cell that surrounds the organelles.

a. Protein made on ribosomes
b. Enters rough ER
c. Protein travels through ER
d. Portion of ER pinches off to form a
vesicle:
♣ Small membrane-bound sac that
transports substances
e. These proteins will usually be exported
from the cell

Golgi Apparatus
D. Golgi Apparatus
1. Vesicles full of proteins produced in rough
ER move into Golgi apparatus.
2. Golgi appears as a stack of flattened,
membrane-bound sacs
3. Function:
a. Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
b. Modified proteins then enclosed in new
vesicles which bud off and are
shipped to final destinations inside or
outside of cell

Lysosomes
E. Lysosomes
1. Small membrane-bound organelles
filled with enzymes.
2. Break down lipids, carbohydrates, &
proteins into small molecules
3. Also break down organelles that have
outlived their usefulness.

Vacuoles
F. Vacuoles
1. Saclike structures that store materials such
as water, salts, proteins, and
carbohydrates.
2. In plant cells there is a single, large central
vacuole filled with liquid.
a. Water pressure in vacuole allows plants
to stand up.
3. Small vacuoles are found in unicellular
organisms and some animals.
a. Contractile vacuoles in Paramecium help

1. Organelles that convert chemical
energy in food into forms of energy
that the cell can use more easily
(ATP).
a. Cells with high energy requirements,
like muscles, have many
mitochondria
2. Have two membranes:
a. Smooth outer membrane

1. Plant organelles that capture sunlight
energy and convert it into chemical
energy of carbohydrates
a. This process is called photosynthesis
b. Sunlight is absorbed by the green
pigment chlorophyll
